### 1/5 — Steals your money

*2026-08-21, version 7.35.0*

Tried to use their charger one time, never signed up for their subscription, but they kept charging me.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-20, version 7.35.0*

Use to like the app but looks like I’ll be using EV-go now, I was at one of their charging stations and twice it charged me $20 because the charging session couldn’t initiate until the 3rd try so it took $60 for it to start charging ever since the new update it has gone down hill I liked when we were in control of loading the account balance this is ridiculous

### 1/5 — FAVORITE

*2026-08-19, version 7.35.0*

I been waiting over three months for an update to fix the “Favorite”! What’s going on with that?!

### 1/5 — Hacked

*2026-08-18, version 7.34.0*

Both of my credit cards I entered for use were hacked, charged and I am still fighting to get my money back. This app was the only thing that one card was ever used for. Do not give them your information

### 2/5 — Worst Support

*2026-08-12, version 7.34.0*

My car charges OK but two problems that support personnel can’t address and keep repeating themselves as broken records! 
1. The SOC (state of charge) is an idiotic limitation when one is paying! Don’t tell me about congestion because other locations - Fashion Island - is always congested but doesn’t have an SOC limit! 

2. Some cars get different pricing at the same level of charge than I get! As a Member+ my price was about $8 for around 8% while the car next to me was charged about $5 for 80%! 

Is Electrify America stealing from us?

### 1/5 — Too Expensive

*2026-08-10, version 7.34.0*

I bought an EV to save money not spend more than gas costs.   It literally cost more to charge here than gas would have cost.  Won’t be charging here ever again unless prices are dropped.

### 1/5 — Waste of Time and Money

*2026-08-07, version 7.34.0*

I have used multiple charging stations, including Rivian, chargePoint, blink, and Electrify America(Ripp-off America) during 2 Recent Rd. trips. Electrify America is hands-down, the most expensive per kilowatt pricing and this time I decided to sign up for the $7/mo. membership, which is supposed to waive the $1 session fee and provide about a 25% discount. Started my charging session through the app, but noticed the screen was showing that I was still paying the full price plus the $1 session fee. I called Customer Service and they said that I was using a “private Electrify America station” in this very public parking lot and that the membership discount rates would not apply. Hung up the phone and immediately canceled my membership.  What a waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Scam operators

*2026-08-04, version 7.34.0*

Don't do business with these people

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-03, version 7.34.0*

App doesn't allow to add payment

### 1/5 — Overly complicated and restrictive

*2026-08-02, version 7.34.0*

Using this app is highly inconvenient

You can’t just pay and go
They want you to put in your personal information so they’re probably gonna sell it but also it makes it longer for you to actually get your charge going and get on the road again. There’s no need for this. I should be able to just pay for the service and leave anonymously without giving all my personal information and having to authenticate three times and or sign up for their stupid subscription, that I may or may not use. If you have other options, use them.

This is not a customer, focused or user focused application or company
